Me and my nephew Aniruddha started gossiping as usual.
This time we were talking about international matters !!!!
Aniruddha said country Turkey has changed its name.
This news is I was not aware of.
Turkey 's changed name is Turkiye .
Turkey government says that the name was changed to rectify the country's image and make it more attached to cultural roots.
But actual reason is different.
Reason for change of name is that the association with the bird of same name.
The bird Turkey is a large bird. People of western countries eat this bird on Christmas eve and new year eve.
When the word Turkey was googled, always the search results showed about this bird only and not about the country !!!
Another objection was that one of the definition of the word 'turkey' was " something that fails badly " or " a stupid or silly person ".
